About the campaign

Re-open the Woodhead Line campaign for the re-opening of the Woodhead train line between Manchester and Sheffield:

• To reduce the environmental impact of transporting people and freight across the Southern Pennines.

• To create a means of access to the northern half of the Peak District National Park for non-car users, cyclists and the disabled.

• To create improved access to employment between the
conurbations of Longdendale and Greater Manchester and the Upper Don Valley and South Yorkshire.

• To restore the competitiveness of trans-pennine rail passenger journey times.

• To make rail-freight a more attractive option by providing a more direct route between the ports on the eastern and western sides of the country.

• To provide more ready access to high speed rail passenger rail services between Scotland, London and continental Europe.

• To improve the capacity and reliability of trans-Pennine rail services by creating an additional route to the Hope Valley Line.
